There is Mt present on exhibition in
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S bank at san
Francisco, a bit of auriferOus rock
that any individual might be glad to
possess. 1t might he a little cumber-
some as a Specimen scarf-pin, but
when the wclrer reflected that it was
worth between $4,000 and 81 900. he
might he braced up to making the
extra exertion. The nugget is one Of
the finest ever unearthed in California,
both in size and richness. 1t is irreg-
uar i'll shape, and about the size of
an ordinary Derby hat. That there is
very little rock and n great deal OF
gold i'm it may be determined by ITS
weight, which is 35 pounds Troy.
Quartz of this sort is usually valued
at 5000 per pound, and, allowing the
large margin OF 81 900 for rock, the
nugget would be worth $4,000. The
exposed rock and great gobs OF gold
that hang out OF its sides so as to
nearly hide all other composition. and
make it appear almost rs melted
metal, are not jagged or rough. but,
on the contrary, are smooth ana pol
ished in "a manner that only water Is
capable OF. The proprietors OF the
nugget are Messrs. Hays x Steeleman.
OF Sierra City. and they have lett 1t on
exhibition for a few days before dis
posing OF it. At the bank it attract :
much attention, but the employees
could furnish no information concern
ing it beyond that it came from Sierra
County and near Sierra-San Francisco

Circumstances are the great psychologi-
cal forces which mould the characters OF
men and chiefly preside over their desti-
nirs. Unforeseen events which crystalize
into the grand memorial chapters Of hui
man history, and change the whole vast
current in the tide Of the affairs of men,
are the reconcile powers through which
are created new conditions oi lie, and new
types of sociality developed.
The French revolution with its awful
blood atonemeut, inaugurated another en-
tirely hcw national individuality, and u
living accident, Napoleon lionaparte,
wrought such profound changes upon man
kind, that the influences of his mighty per-
sonalty will be felt through the lingering
ages Of centuries to come.
The whole social fabric is based upon
chance and accident, which II gradual ac-
emulation OF hidden forces may at any
time combine to alter or utterly disor-
ganize.
A Dutch sea captain introduced upon the
western continent, the system of African
slavery by chance visit to our coasts,
and the eloquent advocacy through selfish
ambition of the doctrine OF nullifca ton in
the senate by one gifted orator, led II few
decades later. to the civil war and ulti-
mate emancipation of the negro. Through
iortuitous combinations OF circumstances,
may be traced the formative causes which
led up to the crude and peculiar governing
conditions Of life in the new west before
- ixiI nj ba Iran
sition which followed the advent of the
twin Jewellers, steam and electricity.
Men whose childhood and youth had
been nurturcd amid the best refinement
and culture of the east, but who were too
ambitions tn accept the lethargy of con
tentmcnt with life in old and non-progress-
i've communities, were thrust in the years
Of their early manhood upon another
sphere OF existence, wherein the accusto ned
mental and moral as well as physical com
forts and pleasures were unobtainable,
and social and religious restraints held no
part.
How easy il is to retrograde, the whole
history of human life demonstrates, but
happily the nature of man though plastic,
is flexible and may with equal facility re-
gain its moral tone.
We hear those who had not the ambi-
ton or the courage to face the privations
and the perils of early western lie, con
denim in unmeasured terms Others who
passed through its seathng fires not un-
scorched. They slorify themselves that
they have not the weaknesses of other men,
while they lose 81 ht of the fact that they
have never lived. for any length OF time,
beyond the softening influences of pure and
virtuous womanlood, which cnnobles and
clevates society. Happily men of the class
who are inclined thus To criticse their fell
lows. never attain to signal success in life
They have not the faults of other men and
they possess not the virlc energy and cour-
age to make conquesis in the worlds bat
Ties. The great history makers, the men
who have engraven their names upon the
pillars of the age within which they
lived, were not such as they.
Charity cometh not without generosity,
and generosity is found not where sweet
